CONTROL DEVICE FOR PORTABLE OBSERVATION EQUIPMENT PLACED ON THE SPACESHIP Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B64G1/66 F41G3/00 

FIELD: aerospace engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering. The control device for portable surveillance equipment (PSE) located on the spacecraft (SC) contains a PSE detachable mount and a unit for removable installation of the control device on the window (URICD). The detachable fastening unit is provided with a hole made with the possibility of aligning the hole axis with the PSE sensitivity axis. The USUUI is provided with a hole configured to align the axis of the hole with the axis of the porthole, connected to a suspension equipped with an angle sensor and a drive connected to a computing device, and connected to the suspension through a hinge equipped with an angle scale and a latch. The axis of the hinge is aligned with the axis of the URICD hole. The axes of the holes of the nodes intersect at a point lying on the axis of the suspension. The axis of the suspension is perpendicular to the axis of the URICD hole and is separated from the plane of the outer surface of the assembly by a distance М<(R/tanγ–K), where R is the porthole radius, K is the thickness of the SC case at the porthole location, the boundary of the base of which coincides with the boundary of the required viewing area of the underlying surface of the PSE, and the height is equal to the minimum distance from the SC to the underlying surface.

EFFECT: accuracy of PSE orientation to objects located on the underlying surface is increased when they are observed through the SC porthole.
